RESI
When a young man moved to Mt. Sterling, KentuckyA most interesting account of Samuel Edwards Tipton, is given in the Columbus Ohio Citizen the year 1905. The oldest custom cutter in America if not in the world who is still actively engaged in business is an honored guest in Columbus this week. Although he is 90 years of age, he is recognized as one or the most artistic designers and cutters in America. To The Citizen he told this story.
" I believe I came to Columbus in 1820-21, when I was a small boy. It was a fairly good town in those days, having a population of about 6,000, and I believe every man and boy in town was a fighter or looking for a fight. We lived in a brick house on High Street and there were only a few houses between there and where they built the State House. Every boy had to work in thosr days and when I was nine years old my father bound me out to Elias Gover. The city tailor ( Edward Apperson, thought 90 was recongnized as one of the best designers and cutters in America). I was with Gover for several years and when I left him I was I was fairly good tailor. I was a little chap, but would fight at any time and one of the best licking I ever got was from John G. Deshler. Jonnie was bigger than me, but he licked me good.
There were the Baton boys, strong scrappers, and when I licked one of them their father whipped me and then my father whipped their father. One of the biggest times we ever had in Columbus was when Henry Clay came here to speak.
I never went to school a day in my life. After I was twenty I learned to read a little, and since then I have learned to write.
